Power and Reset Specifications
Intel
Wireless Flash Memory (W30) devices have a layered approach to power savings that can
significantly reduce overall system power consumption.
The APS feature reduces power consumption when the flash device is selected but idle.
If CE# is deasserted, the memory enters its standby mode, where current consumption is even
lower.
Asserting RST# provides current savings similar to standby mode.
The combination of these features can minimize memory power consumption, and therefore,
overall system power consumption.
8.1
Active Power
With CE# at VIL and RST# at VIH, the flash device is in the active mode. Refer to Section 6.1, “DC consumes the most power from the system. Minimizing flash device active current therefore
reduces system power consumption, especially in battery-powered applications.
8.2
Automatic Power Savings (APS)
Automatic Power Saving (APS) provides low power operation during a read active state. ICCAPS is
the average current measured over any 5 ms time interval, 5 s after CE# is deasserted. During
APS, average current is measured over the same time interval 5 s after the following events:
There is no internal read, program or erase activity.
CE# is asserted.
The address lines are quiescent, and at VIL or VIH.
OE# can be driven during APS.
8.3
Standby Power
When CE# is deasserted, the flash device is deselected and placed in standby, substantially
reducing power consumption. In standby, the data outputs are placed in High-Z, independent of the
level placed on OE#. Standby current, ICCS, is the average current measured over any 5 ms time
interval, 5 s after CE# is deasserted. During standby, average current is measured over the same
time interval 5 s after CE# is deasserted.
When the flash device is deselected (while CE# is deasserted) during a program or erase operation,
it continues to consume active power until the program or erase operation completes.
